A high-contrast serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and a disciplined vertical posture. Curves show diagonal stress and smooth modulation from thick stems to hairline joins, giving letters a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle construction. Proportions feel traditional with moderate counters and a steady rhythm, while terminals and joins remain clean and sharply resolved. The lowercase includes a two-storey “g” and “a”, and the numerals appear oldstyle, with ascenders and descenders that integrate well into text.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books and essays, as well as editorial typography for magazines and newspapers where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve for branding and packaging that benefit from a timeless, literary character, and for headlines when a refined, authoritative tone is needed.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking traditional book typography and established editorial design. Its crisp contrast and elegant detailing communicate refinement and authority without becoming ornamental.
Designed to deliver a conventional, readable serif voice with classic proportions and pronounced contrast, balancing elegance with dependable text rhythm. The inclusion of oldstyle numerals and calligraphic stress suggests an intent to harmonize figures and letters in continuous reading settings.
The face maintains a consistent contrast pattern across capitals, lowercase, and figures, with sturdy main strokes anchoring fine hairlines. It looks especially comfortable at text and display sizes where the shaping of bowls, serifs, and stress can be appreciated.
